Weschler testing

[icantbelieveimnotbitter]

DD is clever, but we're not sure how clever as she goes to a state school who resolutely refuse to to place her in relation to her class. We have no idea about G&T, but she has loads of characteristics that make me think it's possible. Early walker and talker (almost immediately fluent), highly strung, obsession with fairness and justice, highly sensitive to clothing (labels and seams etc) amongst many others.

She has been having issues with bullying for a while now, and we just want to help her be happy. We wondered if having her tested would help us to understand her better (two Joe averages here) and make her journey through life a bit easier.

I've read a bit about weschler testing on here and NACG website, but have no idea how to go about accessing it privately or how much it would be. She has no SN so wouldn't get it through school.

Can anyone who has had their dc tested this way give me a point in the right direction? Thanks

Turniphead1, my Dd is 5 yo. She is not formally diagnosed, but she is watched by doctors and another assessment is coming just before year1. I actually see "labeling" as a good sign now, and looking forward to her to get a label! She has a support at school to help with her behaviour, and probably thanks to that she is spotted as a very bright child and is on individual program now. She did not get diagnosis before as she does not quite fit into diagnostic criterias apart from soial issues but all indirect signs of autism are there (including those which can be the signs of giftedness too :)).
